Abstract

Penjelajahan samudera oleh bangsa Belanda pada akhir abad ke-16 hingga awal abad ke-17 menjadi fondasi kolonialisme di Nusantara. Jatuhnya Konstantinopel ke tangan Turki serta diblokadenya jalur Perdagangan ke eropa dan Juga persaingan dagang dengan Portugal serta Spanyol dan terlibatnya Belanda di Perang 80 Tahun, Belanda melakukan berbagai ekspedisi maritim. Ekspedisi pertama dipimpin oleh Cornelis de Houtman pada 1595, yang membuka jalan bagi hubungan dagang Belanda dengan Nusantara. Selain Houtman, Willem Barentsz juga berperan penting dalam eksplorasi jalur alternatif ke Asia, meski gagal menemukan rute yang diinginkan. Pembentukan VOC pada 1602 menjadi instrumen utama Belanda dalam menguasai perdagangan rempah-rempah di Asia Tenggara. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan eksploratif untuk memahami dampak ekonomi dan politik dari penjelajahan ini. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa eksplorasi Belanda membawa dampak besar bagi sejarah Nusantara, dengan penjajahan yang berlangsung lebih dari tiga abad. Kesimpulannya, penjelajahan samudera Belanda tidak hanya didorong oleh motif ekonomi, tetapi juga ambisi politik yang mendalam.

Abstract

This study investigates the multicultural character of Medan in the late 19th century, with a focus on the intricate ethnic and cultural dynamics that influenced the citys evolution during the colonial era. As a rapidly growing urban hub in East Sumatra, Medan attracted a diverse array of migrant communitiesincluding Malays, Bataks, Chinese, Indians, and Europeanseach of which played a role in shaping the citys socio-cultural landscape. This research addresses the question of how these ethnic groups interacted, negotiated spatial boundaries, and coexisted within the colonial urban order. Using a qualitative historical approach, the study draws upon archival materials, colonial administrative records, and travel writings to reconstruct interethnic relations and patterns of cultural exchange. The findings suggest that Medans multiculturalism was not simply a consequence of demographic plurality, but was deeply embedded in colonial economic imperatives, labor migration systems, and spatial planning strategies that regulated intergroup contact. Ethnic enclaves emerged as both sites of cultural preservation and zones of contestation, giving rise to hybrid identities and practices. The study concludes that 19th-century Medan offers a formative example of colonial urban multiculturalismshaped by global migration and colonial governanceand provides valuable historical insight into the roots of ethnic pluralism in contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to present the findings from the Bongal Site as an essential learning resource for the History subject in Senior High Schools, particularly in exploring the dynamics of cultural interaction and the spread of religion in the Indonesian archipelago during ancient times. Methodology: This research employs a qualitative methodology, integrating historical and archaeological approaches. The historical approach is used to reconstruct the process of Christianity’s arrival on the west coast of Sumatra. At the same time, archaeological data are supported by an extensive literature review and field observations. Main Findings: The findings reveal that the spread of early Christianity to Sumatra, though still debated among historians, is evidenced by written sources indicating the presence of the Nestorian Church in the Fansur (Barus) region. Archaeological excavations at the Bongal Site uncovered various artifacts such as rings engraved with crosses, Roman beads, carved stones with Christian symbols, and Byzantine liturgical spoons that support this narrative. Novelty/Originality of this study: The originality of this study lies in the identification and comparative analysis of artifacts that bear significant resemblance to early Roman and Byzantine Christian objects. These findings not only offer new insights into the early presence of Christianity on Sumatra’s west coast but also support the use of the Bongal Site as a contextual and meaningful historical learning resource in secondary education.
